Okay, you consider it a cheat answer, that’s fair. But, just for the record, pokemon is a fantasy series. And the pokemon are a race of monsters.

But for a more typical answer, I’d go with either dragons cause they’re usually powerful and intelligent and can fly or warcraft’s taurens cause they’re like a hippie version of a minotaur. Strong and intelligent but with an affinity for nature. A tauren druid being a very fun combo with tons of versatility.

First gen Pokemon? Or is that cheating?

Also amazing, but more… epic rather than tranquil.

Makes me feel like when I have a small bit of a song stuck in my head and I’m desperately trying to think of what follows so that I can properly look it up but I can’t. Feels like there should be more of a follow-up in the chorus after “strawberry fields forever”. As it is, it feels like a jingle for a company named strawberry fields.

Elwynn Forest theme. Or Dream Theater’s Trial of tears

I’m an idiot that can’t get spoiler tags to work for some reason so sent pm

For all the others, read the Dresden files! Or get the audiobooks read by James Marsters aka Spike from Buffy. He’s doing a phenomenal job, imo.

It would not. I’ve read everything that’s come out. Did you?

Is one of those the Dresden files?

Yeah, don’t worry about kids dying of cancer. They’re irrelevant in the vastness that is god.

I wonder, tho. Which one do you mostly lean towards. Are kids dying to punish someone or are they dying to test the parents? Or is there a third, more important reason we mortals can’t comprehend? Or is it just about having faith that it’s his will?

I can go on a killing spree tomorrow and feel good about myself because that was god’s will, right? He allowed it to happen, right?

We’ve either got free will in which case there’s no “god’s will” or, we don’t actually have free will and everything is predetermined to happen anyway. Not sure which is more fucked up to believe.

It might depend from person to person? I agree with you, tho. That’s also my preferred method.

However, if the stuff you’re reading is fairly dense and not that well organized, you’re gonna have a harder time than watching a well written educational video or lecture and taking notes along the way.

Never read the Quran, but had a coworker who claimed the quran explains a ton of science, including recent science. She also believed in creationism and therefore also thought evolution was bs, so I didn’t put much basis into her words.

I think the idea is that average people have no clue what color they are. So they’d be forced to take it out to check and thus have to restart their PC. It’s a trick!

Altho, maybe I’m misunderstanding something because all the pins of all the electrical cords I’ve ever seen have been silver?

Can confirm. Thought UK was always gmt+0, Paris/Amsterdam/whatever GMT+1, etc. (thought it was the clock that changed, not the timezone, if you know what I mean)

Ihsahn - mass darkness

The crown - death explosion

High on fire - fury whip

Skeletonwitch - and into the flame

Goatwhore - FBS

Death - painkiller (all the respect to priest, but this version is better)

Exodus - war is my shepherd

Machine head - aesthetics of hate

Destroyer 666 - I am the wargod

The ocean - jurrasic/cretaceous

Black tongue - eclipse

Kglw - supercell/dragon/self-immolate

Hatebreed - destroy everything

What makes you say that about nice? Been there many times and I’m not a fan of the city, but for other reasons. I’d have imagined a far right shithole to be…whiter, if nothing else.

Can’t find the original anymore as it’s been a few years, but there was this post on reddit about a street view car in Marseille. This is an article covering the thing. Nobody claimed it was fake at the time. Showed it to people that used to live in Marseille and they didn’t seem surprised either.

I mean the actual city, not the stuff around it. Mostly because there’s a lot of gangs and thieves and such. There’s actually a few streets that ste fully controlled by gangs afaik. Like barricades made out of couches and shit and ambulances need an escort to get in and such.

Otherwise yeah, Aix, Cassis, and most of Provence are awesome.

Nothing happens to them because all the bad parts of Romania aren’t in places where backpackers would go. Only “bad” part of visiting Romania is that tourism isn’t as developed as in other countries. So not as many signs/information/buses to and from places. That also makes lots of places harder to find and reach but also a lot more pristine. Romania’s countryside is one of the best, hands down.

Foreigner in France here. Couldn’t be more wrong Beautiful country, amazing food. People are… People. Good and bad, as with every other place. Plenty of places I didn’t feel welcome. France wasn’t one of it. Except Marseille. Yeah, avoid Marseille. (Altho it has its good parts)

Go to a place where it’s sunny all the time. Then go to somewhere where it’s cloudy all the time. You’ll notice the difference when looking at older people’s skins. So hydration and sunscreen are for sure helpful. All the other aging stuff… Dunno, but I think at least some of them are.
